2004 Lexus ES330 Brakes Problems

“When I tried to stop and turned right on a side street the car's brake didn't work and the car even accelerated itself. It didn't stop even I pressed the brake until it hit a street sign and knocked the tree down on the sidewalk. The air bag didn't come out after the crash neither. The car was a total lost after this accident.”

“The brakes on my newly leased 2004 Lexus 330 do not engage with pressure for the initial 1/2 to 1 inch of pressure and are inconsistant. They also make a distracting and irritating knocking noise when the pedal is released. I have had the vehicle in for service 3 times and each time the service manager has told me the brakes were fine, but they are definitely not.”

“When braking and slowly turning left to come to a stop in a parking space at a wal-mart parking lot my car suddenly accelerated uncontrollably at such a fast speed that my car crashed into a metal pole and pushed a parked station wagon facing my car back far into another isle. My foot was definitely braking the whole time.!!!! My car unexpectedly accelerated at a very high speed while I pressed the brake. I have in my possession a surveillance tape of the accident taken by wal-mart. …”

“My Lexus es330 2004 has about 17k miles on it, and I have noticed several indications where I try and brake and it feels like the brakes will not fully engage, or that the ebs braking system is engaged, when I do not believe it should be engaged. This has happened mostly in the winter or fall months when the road was dry and the air was dry. It has taken me way to long to brake and come to a proper stop. It has occurred about 10 times. I do not drive very much as you can note from the mileage. …”

“I drove off the highway , route 50, in annapolis, md, onto an exit ramp leading to ferguson road. I applied the brakes but the car did not slow down. I avoided a car on the ramp in front of me but immediately came to the stop sign at ferguson road. The car had not slowed down and I attempted to make the left turn onto ferguson road, but hit the guard rail and another car in the intersection. The air bags did not deploy. I received a cut on my left hand, a bruise on my right hip from the seat belt buckle and my glasses were knocked off. …”
